DITCH FABRIC SOFTENER PREVENT PILLING BACK TO MENU AN MP GUIDE TO SUSTAINING YOUR ACTIVEWEAR The foundation to a sustainable wardrobe is taking care of your clothes – yes, those labels are there for a reason. These tips will keep your clothes smelling fresher and lasting longer, helping you meet your sustainable goals. If you want sweat-free and sustainable gym wear, fabric softener is a surprising no-go. It can cause your favourite set to become less absorbent by coating the fabric in a waxy film - essentially stopping the detergent from doing its job and making you smellier in the long run. Side Note: Fabric softeners can also contain ingredients derived from petroleum or palm oil, which may not be cruelty free or vegan friendly. Pilling is the formation of small balls of fibres on the surface of the fabric.Although its normal from wear and tear, it doesn’t stop it from being annoying. So how do you prevent it? Washing garments inside out and on a delicate wash will reduce the amount of agitation in the washing machine. If you are washing clothes with zips or Velcro, make sure they are fastened to prevent damage to other clothing. Side Note:All MP garments are tested to the standard ISO 12945-2 and must meet a minimum grade in order to be added to our range of products, making them less prone to pilling.
